8 - 4
To configure the device to have a static IP address, use the eth_settings com-
mand as follows:
set eth_settings 1
“type='static',addr='192.168.1.101',gw='192.168.10.254',nm='255.255.25
5.0',dns='66.82.134.56'”
where the 1 represents the device ID of the SoundStructure. If multiple Sound-
Structure devices are linked together, the device id of the first unit will be 1
and subsequent connected devices will have sequential device id’s ranging
from 2 to the number of devices assuming the OBAM interface is connected
from OBAM in to OBAM out as described in Chapters 2 and 3.
The eth_settings command accepts a complete string with the arguments sum-
marized below. Arguments to the different fields must be surrounded with
single quotes.
If the type is set to ‘dhcp’ then the remaining arguments are accepted but not
used until the type is set to static. All arguments have to be sent if the address
is being set to a static IP address.
To enable SoundStructure devices to accept a dynamic IP address use the
command:
set eth_settings 1 “type='dhcp'”
where 1 represents the default device ID of a stand-alone SoundStructure
device. Please note that there are single quotes around the argument ‘dhcp’
and the entire argument string is enclosed in double quotes.
To query the IP settings of the device, use the get action as in the following
example:
get eth_settings 1
val eth_settings 1 “mode='dhcp',addr='172.22.2.110',dns='172.22.1.1
172.22.1.2', gw='172.22.2.254',nm='255.255.255.0'"
